For those ...Thank you for your explanations Gavin! For those of us who don't dance, what's an arabesque? (can you explain it like you did so well on the Six o'clock Penche?) <BR/><BR/>Also, you mentioned in preset that you'd have quick costume changes. I may not have seen it correctly in performances, but some of the dancers look like they've got different tights/leotards (not sure if that's the correct term) as well as tutus/costumes. Are you literally completely changing each time or is there layering that you usually do to cut down on the time it takes to be ready? <BR/><BR/>With the elephant knees, how long (I know it's likely somewhat different based on the dancer) do tights last? Are they like dress socks where you wear them a couple times and after a few washes the elasticity combined with wear produces the elephant knees? <BR/><BR/>-Sethsethcmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241881514822493410noreply@blogger.com
